Sunset At Kongo River Excursion
Pick up at the hotel at 16:30 hrs and drive for the next 20 minutes to a point where the famous Kongo river empties into the sea and hence the barrier between Diani Beach and the less touristic but magnificent Tiwi Beach.
We will then gather at the starting point at 5pm and do a short tour of the famous Estuary and the Kongo Mosque (one of the oldest mosques in east Africa) and the magnificent graveyard as well as the enormous baobab trees in front of the Mosque. (Slave trade gathering point)
At around 5.10pm we will get on a canoe and start our sunset sail. Get ready to experience the most serene, relaxing, scenic sunset ride.
